Back in 1964 Jack Emmott ran a business in the UK that serviced racing motorcycle engines, especially the AJS 7R, Matchless G45 and G50 and he published a little blue cover book on the servicing of them....I've scanned it for you and feel free to download all or part of it....

About Me

I've motorcycled since the early 1960s...both in Australia, the USA,NZ and UK to where my long suffering wife and I rode a 1972 BMW R50/5 motorcycle via the overland route through Asia in 1974. Careers in Animal Physiology and Automotive Instruments and now finally semi retired into music...as a banjoist in Trad./Dixieland Jazz bands.
Life for me is very interesting......
